Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 577 Sales Explosion

Two hours after the release of "Wake Up Your Ears", the number of plays and comments on the Penguin Music platform began to soar.

By the way, the pre-order sales of the album also skyrocketed. Those fans and passers-by who were holding on to their money and waiting, now gave up their hesitation and started buying!

One hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred thousand...

Six hours after the single was unlocked, the album's pre-order sales had exceeded 800,000!
This result stunned the entire Chinese music scene!

Outrageous, outrageous!

Although the performance of Sun Min’s previous album was good, compared with Xu Lingyue’s... it’s really nothing.

What’s even more exaggerated than this data is... everyone doesn’t even know what the album is called, which is almost like opening a blind box.

It is also because of this that many "independent thinkers" have emerged on the Internet, mocking everyone's impulsive consumption.

But unfortunately, these buzzing noises can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for buying.

"If you don't buy it, then beep. No one is pointing a gun to your head to make you buy it!"

"I earn my own money and spend it myself. Who is it for you to teach me how to spend it most reasonably?"

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this album? You want me to be rational?"

"Do we still need to wait and see about the combination of Zhou Hao and Xu Lingyue? Are you awake?"

“To be honest, there is no need to worry about the quality of the album, but isn’t the pre-order unlocking method a bit inappropriate? It feels like playing futures.”

"It's a bit..."

Zhou Hao also quickly responded to this only flaw that might be criticized - among all fans who participate in the pre-order, 10,000 physical records will be given away for free through a lottery, and the media specifications can be specified!

Pre-order users who don’t win a prize will all receive a one-month Penguin Music membership card for free!

As soon as this announcement came out, pre-order sales exploded instantly!
Everyone was already very optimistic about the prospects of this album, and now there are rewards to stimulate... What are you waiting for? Isn't it great to get a month's membership for free?

Penguin Music is also quite generous and has added another layer of code to this reward measure - the platform will also draw 50,000 lucky winners from the pre-order fans and give them Penguin Music season passes!
Once the incentives from both sides were introduced, this album went completely crazy.

By the next morning, pre-order sales had exceeded two million... This is a height that many albums will never reach in their entire lifetime!
Many jealous colleagues began to encourage the navy to attack from all sides.

"Bundled sales", "Using platform members to cheat sales", "Clumsy means", "Sales increase in disguised form"...all kinds of shady tactics began to follow one after another.

However, these noises are useless. In the face of the real temptation of wool, who cares what you say?
Just buy it and that’s it!
By late the next night, the album's pre-order sales had exceeded three million!
For Xu Lingyue, this achievement is actually not particularly exaggerated, after all, she had been glorious in the past.

At her peak, even if she just released an album cover, hundreds of thousands of fans would pay for it.

But only after she had truly experienced setbacks and lows, she could appreciate the value of her current achievements...

And she also knows who deserves the credit for this achievement.

Whenever she thought of this, she was always filled with emotion.

God is fair. Although he took away her creative inspiration, he gave her the most perfect partner.

Whether in life or career, she really couldn't find any fault with Zhou Hao.

If you insist, it may be because I am too popular and surrounded by powerful rivals!

The huge success of the first song also made Zhou Hao change his original plan.

"Now is the time when the popularity and topic level are at their highest. It would be best if we can continue this wave of popularity. If we wait until the whole album is produced before continuing, it will probably be too late... Or we can just continue this way and unlock the remaining songs step by step."

Xu Lingyue and Zhang Hong looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never thought of this way of playing.

"I think it's feasible." After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Hong immediately agreed: "Unlocking songs step by step can maintain the popularity and attention of the entire album for a long time, which can save a lot of marketing costs in disguise."

"But... wouldn't this be a bit bad?" Xu Lingyue said worriedly, "The fans will have complaints then." "As long as the quality of the songs is high enough, nothing will be a problem." Zhou Hao advised, "And on the other hand, you are very sincere in releasing an album in one go."

Xu Lingyue nodded. This was indeed the truth.

In order to achieve a quick and easy profit cycle these days, almost no one releases albums anymore; all they do is chart singles.

Anyone who can release two high-quality new songs a year is considered a “conscientious singer”.

Anyone who can release an entire EP will be praised to the sky by fans.

The reason why Sun Min’s album sold so well before was partly due to this - scarcity makes things valuable, it’s rare that there are still people willing to release an album!

After finalizing the plan, Zhang Hong immediately contacted Penguin Music.

Faced with this popular cash cow, Penguin Music will naturally have no objections. Whatever you say goes!

The recording studio on the other side also immediately modified its work plan and concentrated its efforts on one song...

Five days after the first song was released, the second song of the album was quietly released without any prior publicity.

…………

A female dormitory at a university in Jinling.

As a die-hard fan of Xu Lingyue, Li Tong turned on his phone and put on earphones as soon as he received the news.

"Really? Why didn't they even give us a notice? Instead, they just launched a surprise attack..."

I opened the album list and found the second song - "Sad Swing".

Click play, and the light and pleasant prelude begins to come from the headphones, with electronic music elements appearing again.

But this time he is not the protagonist, but a supporting role who plays the background music.

"if we assume
A good cry, right?
I can become strong alone
On the sad swing

Rocking back and forth..."

The introduction of the vocals is still very peculiar, almost like one of the instruments mixed in with the accompaniment.

The unique singing style at the beginning is extremely catchy!

Li Tong shivered unconsciously and felt all the pores in her body open up.

Comfortable, this sound is really comfortable to listen to, it feels like drinking a sip of pure and clear mountain spring water in the dog days of summer!
“…I know I can forget

I can also put

Think about yourself

Injured

Never tell anyone..."

The chorus isn’t that amazing, and the structure is a bit top-heavy… but the overall quality is still solid!

Compared with those idiotic songs out there, it's still at the level of a masterpiece!
I subconsciously took a look at the ranking of this song in the album - sixth.

have to.

This time it’s a single 5.

After listening to it once, Li Tong looked eagerly at the position of the title song.

What exactly is this trump card?
